Josh and @kyledcheney.bsky.social note in their POLITICO piece below that NYT uncovered in July 2025 some of the administration's dubious surveillance of Comey. I have no memory of that article! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/u...
Josh GersteinThe strange tale of the federal probe of Comey's '86-47' Insta post involves President Trump's keen interest, legally suspect surveillance of the former FBI chief's phone and a chat with mob hitman Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
A must read and eminently entertaining, to boot.
Anna BowerEarlier this month, a New York Times journalist was watching “The Sheep Detectives” when FBI agents showed up at his door with a subpoena. Last week, a judge had some questions. It didn’t go well for the Justice Department. My dispatch from the NYT hearing: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
read the motion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
In new filings, former FBI Director James Comey seeks disclosure of grand jury transcripts in the "8647" seashells case. Among other things, the motion cites Kash Patel's gaffe at a public press conference, where he said the grand jury was told that Comey apologized for the "8647" post.
Anna BowerIn this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

This is long but worth reading.

Wow, @annabower.bsky.social takes us into the courtroom and provides a graphic narrative describing how the judge deals with incompetent DOJ lawyers without losing his cool. Absolutely fascinating. The Subpoena Detective: A Dispatch from the Times Hearing www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
“his name is on all the pleadings here,” Subramanian says. “So why is he in the gallery? You can come up. We have extra chairs here.” If you’re not an attorney, imagine this playing with Jaws music.

Even if you know about this hearing, worth reading. So well done.

This is a wild exchange if you read Gonzales, the leading 2nd Cir. case on reporters’ privilege. The entire case is about the government trying to get the phone records of NYT journalists…the same thing the gov is trying to do now. What do you mean you didn’t know about that aspect of it 😂
I will add, in case you were wondering: No, Buckley didn’t invoke privilege here. He just left it at “Your Honor, I can’t get into that.”
Anna BowerDOJ: this conduct was appropriate because it fell under an exception that's triggered when the Attorney General makes a specific finding Also DOJ: we can't tell you if that finding was actually made
